See example below:

# Friendly names for curation tasks to appear in admin UI
# Also acts as a filter - i.e. tasks not enumerated here can still
# be invoked on cmd line, etc - just not in UI
ui.tasknames = \
     profileformats = Profile Bitstream Formats, \
     requiredmetadata = Check for Required Metadata, \
     checklinks = Check Links in Metadata, \
     vscan = Scan for viruses
